    Study Notes

    Stock Valuation and Cash Flow

    • Increasing cash flow (D or g) generally leads to an increase in stock value, as it indicates higher future earnings potential.

    Dividend Yield

    • The term ( \frac{D_1}{V} ) represents the dividend yield in the equation ( r = \frac{D_1}{V} + g ), where ( D_1 ) is the expected dividend and ( V ) is the stock price.

    Constant-Growth Model Suitability

    • The constant-growth model is best suited for mature companies with stable earnings and dividend growth, such as blue-chip stocks.

    Required Rate of Return Impact

    • A decrease in the required rate of return (r) results in an increase in stock price, as investors are willing to pay more for the perceived lower risk.

    Total Return Components

    • The constant-growth model captures the components of a stockholder's total return, which include both the dividend yield and the growth rate of dividends.

    Predictable Growth Companies

    • Companies likely to exhibit fairly predictable growth rates in earnings and dividends typically operate in steady industries with established market positions, such as utilities or consumer staples.

    No Growth Model

    • The zero-growth model assumes that dividends will remain constant over time, making it suitable for companies with stable, unchanging dividend policies.

    Constant-Growth Dividend Valuation Formula

    • The formula for calculating the value of a share of stock in the constant-growth dividend valuation model is ( P_0 = \frac{D_1}{r - g} ), where ( P_0 ) is the price, ( D_1 ) is the expected dividend, ( r ) is the required rate of return, and ( g ) is the growth rate.

    Dividend Growth Rate Condition

    • In the constant-growth dividend valuation model, the growth rate (g) must be less than the required rate of return (r) to ensure the valuation remains positive and realistic.

    Holding Period Assumption

    • The constant-growth dividend valuation model assumes that the investor will hold the stock indefinitely, which is integral to the model's calculations.

    Assumption about Dividend Growth Rate

    • This model assumes a constant growth rate of dividends over time, indicating predictable growth and stability in dividend payments.

    Value Calculation Implications

    • If the investment horizon does not impact the computed value of a stock, it indicates that the dividend discounting methods are based on long-term growth and stable return expectations, emphasizing the model's long-term focus.
